State Equation of a Freely Suspended WireIntro At -30°C a 100 m span of 243-AL1 pulled to 20 kN hangs 0.41 m. At +40°C the same wire in the same clamps sags 1.47 m, and its tension has dropped to 5.6 kN. Nobody touched the wire in between. T14h ago · 16 min readpavelbarysenka.hashnode.dev
Sag Calculation: How Low Can the Tension Go?Intro In the previous article, Sag Calculation: Segment Equilibrium Method, I deliberately pushed the method to an extreme: a 40 m span of 243-AL1 with only \({H}\) = 100 N of horizontal tension. The 1d ago · 12 min readpavelbarysenka.hashnode.dev
Sag Calculation: Segment Equilibrium MethodIntro In the previous article of this series, Sag Calculation: Parabola vs. Hyperbolic, I compared two classical analytical models and showed where the shallow sag assumption (\(dx \approx dL\)) break4d ago · 12 min readpavelbarysenka.hashnode.dev
